A conic projection has a high degree of accuracy for limited areas, so are very good for the smaller areas lime road maps and weather maps.

∙ 14y agoA topographical map is used for small areas. The map is of a small area, but quite large physically because it contains many details and requires a lot of space to make the map legible. A topographical map, also called a topo map, can show everthing on the land including man made things.

What problem do maps have that globes do not?
Maps that are projected on a plane surface will exhibit distortions in distance, area and direction which might be neglible over a small area such as a town or city, but can be substantial over larger areas. Cartographers compensate for these distortions in a number of ways, but usually one type of distortion is sacrificed to create accuracy in another dimension. Globes do not exhibit these distortions, but nearly all globes are made perfectly spherical which, in itself, introduces a slight distortion since Earth is a bit flattened at the poles.
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
What is the original definition for plate tectonics?
Originally it was thought that the earth's lithosphere (crust) was made of individual plates that are broken down into over a dozen large and small pieces of rock. These fragmented plates collided with, slid under or moved past adjacent plates. This is what shaped the earth's landscape.
What is the size comparison of Earth and Pluto?
If Pluto's orbit were on the same plane as Earth's orbit, if Earth were directly between the sun and Pluto, if Earth were at its aphelion (the point in its orbit where it's farthest from the sun), and if Pluto were at its perihelion (the point in its orbit closest to the sun), on the scale where the diameter of Earth is 5 mm, the distance from Earth to Pluto is about 1.681 km (a little over a mile).
Do volcanoes occur randomly over Earth's surface?
Volcanoes do not occur randomly over Earth's surface. They occur along the located mark of plate boundaries.
What occurs over a small area?
Weather occurs over a small area. Climate occurs over a whole region.
Why do hydraulic devices apply a small force over a small area?
Hydraulic devices apply a small force over a small area to magnify the pressure delivered to the opposite end. This is vindicated by the formula Pressure = Force per unit Area.
What is the area of the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is spread all over. It is over the whole earth.
Who presided over the largest span of the earth by area?
Queen Victoria
What is Cluster Area Network?
A Cluster Area Network, also known as a Campus Area network or CAN, is a network comprised of a series of small LANs over a small Geographical area, such as a College Campus.
How does the earth recover from a flood?
the earth recovers from a flood by growing over the area. usually the water washes away.
What is an advantage of a small cell over a large cell?
smaller surface area
What percent of America covers the world?
The United States covers about 7% of Earth's land area. Including all over Earth's surface area (land and water), the US covers about 2% of Earth's surface.
Difference between regional and local metamorphism?
regional metamorphism occurs over a large area while local metamorphism occurs over a small area.
How much force does 1 gallon of water exert?
It depends on the depth of the water - whether it is spread over a huge area or concentrated over a small area.
In what area of the earth would one find seasonal ozone depletion?
Over the poles.
Can you tile over Liquid Nail?
If the Liquid Nail is a small area, yes, but not if the entire tile surface is over it.
